I didn't even hope that the final weight of the product would be so significant. This was the first cycle on DWC and, in addition for restocking, it was aimed to accumulate experience.
I ruined one of the plants. With the help of hydrogen peroxide, I almost burned the roots to the second.
Vegetative period was sad. But on the flowering, the ambient temperature dropped and the solution was no longer filled with biology. So further events were filled with joy and the cycle ended with a staggering (for me) result - almost a gram per watt. 😃
I also understood my mistakes in the Scrog technique. Next time I will weave differently.
Thanks to everyone who watched, commented, worried.
Next cycle ahead!
Hey looking great so far! Dope DIY buckets!! I’m NO expert in DWC but I can make 1 suggestion: be cautious of the water level when you are putting in those water bottles! I noticed I tried tht once and my plant woke up the next day super droopy and sad looking ! Quickly realized it was the water level rise that was drowning the roots not allowing oxygen
Nice diary so far! Ill be dropping a follow! Best of luck in the coming weeks 😎
(General-hydroponics Trio nutrients are listed on grow diaries as a selection. If you wanted to make it link to the correct Nutrients you can search for it!)
Oh OK man no problem! Its always interesting to hear about local products/strains.
Use whatever nutrients get the job done - i'm not judging! Besides there is only so many ways to split N-P-K lol 😂
@HighTV, thank you, bro!
I use not GHE nutrients. It's ukrainian local factory replication of the GHE trio.
This is a proven product of good quality, there are many reports using this nutrients in the Russian and Ukrainian forums.
Hello, I wanted to suggest that you get some hydroguard and add it to your buckets. It will battle the slime in your roots and does not kill the beneficial microbes like hydrogen peroxide does. Good luck with your grow!
@Brustwehr, I can't tell by your nutrients listed if you were trying an organic grow. With the organic grows, h202 will kill beneficial bacteria, that's why I pointed it out. Good luck with your grow.
@BeefWellingtons, in my humble opinion, there should not be any bio in DWC at all, just mineral nutrients and water. But thank you!
P.S. hydrogen peroxide does not kill aerobic microbes and, therefore, helps the proper microflora
@BeefWellingtons, thank you, bro!
These are ordinary PC coolers 120 mm 3000 rpm, twisted together by ties and powered by the 12 volt aquarium power supply.
@Kiewil1, thank you, bro!
During this first unsuccessful cycle, box seems big and lifeless. But expectation was that even one autoflower would tear the box to shreds.
In the next cycle it will be)
Yeah bro you won't notice anything right away and sometimes affected leaves will never recover so you want to monitor new growth to make sure it's not continuing, I would buy some proper calmag from Amazon or Ebay if I was you personally as the brown spots will be calcium deficiency but definitely from your leaves you also have a magnesium deficiency, not trying to put down your grow as I have a calmag issue myself and left it a bit late to add - calcium and magnesium needs will only increase the bigger the plant gets so address the issue now if you can
